Gravity allows for crude oil or bitumen and water to collect around the lower wellbore, which allows it to be pumped out to be refined. Production well Injection well STEAM ASSISTED GRAVITY DRAINAGE (SAGD) STEAM ASSISTED GRAVITY DRAINAGE SAGD was originally conceived by Dr. Roger Butler, an engineer for Imperial Oil. Tests, first by Imperial, and later by the now-defunct Alberta Oil Sands Technology and Research Authority (AOSTRA) at its underground test facility in the Athabasca oilsands, proved the feasibility of the concept. Advances in horizontal drilling have allowed for SAGD operations from the surface. Two parallel horizontal oil wells are drilled in the formation. The upper well injects steam, and the lower well collects the water that the results from the condensation of the injected steam and the bitumen. The injected steam heats the heavy oil or bitumen and lowers its viscosity, which allows it to flow down into the lower wellbore. The water and bitumen emulsion is recovered to the surface by several methods such as steam lift, gas lift or by downhole pump. STEAM ASSISTED GRAVITY DRAINAGE (SAGD) STAGE 1 - STEAM INJECTION Steam is injected into the reservoir. STAGE 2 - SOAK PHASE Steam and condensed water heat the viscous oil. STAGE 3 - PRODUCTION Heated oil and water are pumped to the surface. CYCLIC STEAM STIMULATION In Canada, CSS—also known as the “huff and puff” method—was developed by Imperial Oil at Cold Lake in the 1980s. In the same area, it is now also used by Canadian Natural Resources Limited, and a variation of the technology is used by Shell Canada Limited at Peace River. CSS is being piloted by Southern Pacific Resource Corp. at Red Earth and Baytex Energy Corp. at Harmon Valley and Cliffdale. A single well is used to inject high-pressure steam into the reservoir, both to heat the oil and to reduce its viscosity. The pressure dilates the formation, inflating the reservoir. As it cools, the reservoir deflates, providing a drive mechanism. Following injection, the well remains suspended for a required period of time to allow heat to soak into the formation. After the soak phase, the operation of the injector well is reversed to produce the oil. The hot oil is then pumped out of the well using conventional pumpjacks for periods ranging from weeks to months. These three phases together comprise one cycle. Steam is re-injected to begin a new cycle when oil production rates fall below a critical threshold due to the cooling of the reservoir.

The heat from the steam reduces the viscosity of the heavy crude oil or bitumen, which allows it to ow down into the lower wellbore.

Gravity allows for crude oil or bitumen and water to collect around the lower wellbore, which allows it to be pumped out to be re�ned.

STEAM ASSISTED GRAVITY DRAINAGE (SAGD)

STEAM ASSISTED GRAVITY DRAINAGE

SAGD was originally conceived by Dr. Roger Butler, an engineer for Imperial Oil. Tests, �rst by Imperial, and later by the now-defunct Alberta Oil Sands Technology and Research Authority (AOSTRA) at its underground test facility in the Athabasca oilsands, proved the feasibility of the concept. Advances in horizontal drilling have allowed for SAGD operations from the surface. Two parallel horizontal oil wells are drilled in the formation. The upper well injects steam, and the lower well collects the water that the results from the condensation of the injected steam and the bitumen. The injected steam heats the heavy oil or bitumen and lowers its viscosity, which allows it to ow down into the lower wellbore. The water and bitumen emulsion is recovered to the surface by several methods such as steam lift, gas lift or by downhole pump.

STEAM ASSISTED GRAVITY DRAINAGE (SAGD)STAGE 1 - STEAM INJECTION

Steam is injected intothe reservoir.

STAGE 2 - SOAK PHASE

Steam and condensed waterheat the viscous oil.

STAGE 3 - PRODUCTION

Heated oil and water arepumped to the surface.

CYCLIC STEAM STIMULATION

In Canada, CSS—also known as the “huff and puff” method—was developed by Imperial Oil at Cold Lake in the 1980s. In the same area, it is now also used by Canadian Natural Resources Limited, and a variation of the technology is used by Shell Canada Limited at Peace River. CSS is being piloted by Southern Paci�c Resource Corp. at Red Earth and Baytex Energy Corp. at Harmon Valley and Cliffdale. A single well is used to inject high-pressure steam into the reservoir, both to heat the oil and to reduce its viscosity. The pressure dilates the formation, in�ating the reservoir. As it cools, the reservoir de�ates, providing a drive mechanism. Following injection, the well remains suspended for a required period of time to allow heat to soak into the formation. After the soak phase, the operation of the injector well is reversed to produce the oil. The hot oil is then pumped out of the well using conventional pumpjacks for periods ranging from weeks to months. These three phases together comprise one cycle. Steam is re-injected to begin a new cycle when oil production rates fall below a critical threshold due to the cooling of the reservoir.
